What's for Dinner? Meal Planning Monday

DSC_0010

If it were up to me, the salad you see above would be my dinner every night this week.  A bed of mixed greens, topped with tiny slivers of red onion, a drizzle of maple Dijon vinaigrette and three little goat cheese toasts. Total perfection if you ask me.  But since I live with three boys who simple cannot subsist on greens alone, we have other things on the meal plan this week.

Monday: Roast chicken, warm goat cheese salad (above) and green beans

Tuesday: Pork fried rice with napa cabbage, carrots and red pepper

Wednesday: Watercress soup, salad and baguette

Thursday: Farfalle with roasted butternut squash, bacon and sage

Friday: Croque monsiuer and mixed green salad

See! I did manage to squeeze a few greens in there throughout the week. Do you think they'll notice?

What are you all eating for dinner these days?

Banana Oat and Peanut Butter Smoothie I still haven't quite made friends with breakfast, although I'm trying. With a season of hot cereal and grainy pancakes upon us, what's not to love?

I was so intrigued by two banana varieties in the list, I combined them to come up with this smoothie recipe. Think oatmeal and banana cookie topped with peanut butter, but in frozen smoothie form. And I know what you're thinking. With temperatures hovering as low as they have been this year,...

Dear Ben: A Letter of Help Dear Ben, I know I don't write about you nearly as often as I write about your brother. We both know that it's because you're too busy playing hockey insanely shy, and prefer not to have the spotlight on you. You're also at an age where your privacy is important to you, and you prefer not to be the subject of your mother's digital hobby. But knowing you often read these posts, I thought it might be best to address your little obsession problem here, in a place where people can offer you the support you might need. Anyone reading is certain to understand what you're going through, and I'm sure many have even walked in your ice skates shoes before. We all have our little secrets, and issues we need to work through, and I want to publicly declare my support for you here. I know that Dad feels...
